The spacer can be anywhere from $75-125 and instalation usually starts at 225 and can go way up.

So if you can get it installed, with the spacer and labor, for around 350 i would go for it!

I paid $80 for my kit (2.5" AS) and another $175 for installation and alignment, so just a tad over $250 out the door. Lots of guys have actually tackled this job themselves, but I'm not one of them. Even if you do it yourself you still have to get the front end aligned.

Some are easier than others, such as autospring, they are the easiest one to install.

that is my truck with the 2.5" autospring Leveling Kit...i bought it used from WXMCPO....my buddy n i installed it in a little bit over 2 hours...i still need to get it alligned, but its great....gives the truck a mean look (though i have the 300ish LB. bed cover that makes the back sag) if you have some time on your hands, jack stands, a good jack, and the right tools, or a few bucks to get the tools, then you are more than fine...and you will be happier that you didnt pay 3 times as much as the kit costs to get it installed....

ok now heres a nother ?
instead of doing a spacer
what if i swap out my coil springs with springs from a 4x4 or fx4 model i have a pair and there a re about 2in larger
and an alignment would fix that too correct?
idk im asking that if it will work on a spacer kit then it should work on some coils but let me know if im wrong!!
